 The
California Dental Association has been providing dentists
with a resource network for more than 130 years. This experience
has helped to bring together the dental health community in
California and unite it with common goals and vision. More
than 20,000 dentists are members of the California Dental
Association, and the organization works in a number of ways
to promote healthy teeth and regular dental visits.
California Dental Association information
for the public
The California Dental Association maintains a huge resource
base so that the public can learn more about dental health,
as well as ways of maintaining it. If you have questions about
any dental condition, the California Dental Association can
provide fact sheets that explain causes, symptoms, and possible
treatments. Some examples of these oral hygiene issues include:
- Wisdom teeth
- Bad breath
- Gum disease
- Oral cancer
- Receding gum lines
Information on these problems from
the California Dental Association can help answer questions
you may have about your mouth. However, this information can
also allow you to ask your dentist the right questions when
you get into that chair. The California Dental Association
recommends that dental patients find out as much as possible
about their own dental care, and the best way to do this is
to ask your dentist questions.
The California Dental Association
also runs several publicity campaigns to increase public knowledge
of dental health issues. Their aim is not just to increase
business for their members - in fact, one of the goals of
the California Dental Association is to promote dental health
as a way of increasing overall health. The California Dental
Association also provides answers to frequently asked questions
about dental insurance plans.
Finding
a dentist with the California Dental Association
The California Dental Association can help members of the
public find a dentist, whether you need general dentistry
care or specialty services like periodontistry, orthodontics,
or endodontics. A call or email to the California Dental Association
can quickly provide you with the name of the dental society
for your area, which will provide you with a referral to a
nearby dentist or dental clinic.
Other
California Dental Association services.
The California Dental Association is also instrumental in
recruiting new students to dentistry. If you are already a
dentist or dental health professional, the California Dental
Association provides job listings that can help you find a
job in your area or around the state.
